At a time when I was in a major depressive phase, I decided to return to an occupation that I had lost sight of for some time.

Photographing.

I even decided to get a new camera, although I could not really afford it at the time. But I realized that my health should be so important. Said done, I ordered a camera. When it was delivered, I started with the first pictures. Everything was right for me as a practice motive. A tealight or the Christmas snowflake ball. The more I photographed the more I noticed a very positive aspect: My head was free of confused thoughts. When taking pictures I am always very busy with the search for motiives and then to find the right point of view. In addition, I deal with the exposure and aperture settings to take the perfect photo for me. More and more I was drawn outside. At first I could only go hunting at night or when it was dark. But increasingly I felt better. I felt the fresh air and the movement was really good. Also, the subsequent sifting and sorting out the pictures gave me much joy. I even decided to design a logo to protect my pictures on the internet. After several nocturnal photo raids I managed to leave the apartment in daylight to take pictures. Only close to my apartment, then in the zoo in the morning. There I discovered that the peace and the closeness to the animals helps me a lot. So in the next few days I drove to the zoo every morning and consciously spent time there.

At some point I had my camera with me often and was traveling regularly, looking for beautiful motives and enjoyed the peace in my head.
